The Spider-man in me

My name is Aba, and I accidently turned myself to something much like Spider-man, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

It all started while organizing the school’s science museum. I found a secret entrance to a room hidden from everyone. I was a little scared, since it was pitch black, but it seemed so cool I just could not resist, so after swallowing so deep that it probably could have been heard miles away, I stepped in and saw leftovers from an experiment.

Reading the descriptions and conclusions, I was left completely fascinated. I have wanted to be a superhero since I was born but never thought that it would become reality. So, there I decided to recreate the experience on myself and give myself superhuman sense and strength. It might have been the best decision of my life.

Since then, I started fighting some criminals in my neighborhood, hiding my identity from them. I only told what I was doing to my mom, who is usually too worried about me but has been very supportive, my girlfriend MI, who can always motivate me if I am down, and my best friend who helps me find criminals and figure out strategies to take them down. I created a special suit for myself to fight in and designed a web shooter that helps me fight a lot.

The first real fight came when I saw a bank robbery at a Banca Transylvania near my school. I remember it as clearly as the night sky. It was a biology class and felt something was wrong, so I asked to go to the bathroom and looked out through the window. There were 3 muscular guys, fully armed in front of the bank.

Without hesitation, I got suited up and jumped out the window. Having stuck the landing perfectly, I quickly started running towards the building, where the action had just started heating up. The robbers were professionals, not a single alarm went off.

I ran inside and webbed the guy who looked most like their leader and made him stuck to the ground for a little time. To my shock, the other guys weren’t running away, or screaming or anything that a normal person would do if they saw a guy with such a power. They quickly aimed at me and fired 2 bullets towards me.

My whole life flashed before my eyes before I could react. It was like time slowed down, so I just dodged them. I knew I needed to remain calm. All three guys started running toward me. I grabbed one of them and threw him onto the other one so hard that they both hit the floor unconscious.

The biggest guy remained, with even more anger and determination to kill me. I felt completely drained. I didn’t even have enough energy to do any harm to him, so I just closed my eyes and accepted my destiny. Then I heard a gunshot, which I thought was my death, but I also heard MI’s voice in my ears whispering it’s over now, you can rest.

The next thing I remember is lying on my couch with my friends sitting near me. They felt so happy to see me wake up. I wanted explanations, so my girlfriend told me everything. After she saw where I went, she immediately called the cops, who arrived just in time to save me. From that point on, I knew I needed to be more careful.
